HERBERT 'WHITTIER NICHOLES, F ATLANTA, GEORGIA.

FIRE.

Be it known that I, HERBERT WHITTIER NIoHoLEs, a citizen of the United States, residin at Atlanta, in the county of Fulton and tate of Georgia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pipes; and

I do declare the following to be a full, clear,

and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to improvements in The object of the invention is to provide a 5 tobacco pipe having a bowl open at itslower end whereby the bowl may be readily cleaned, and having a: removable cap to close said open lower end.

A further object is to provide a pipe having means arranged in its bowl to prevent the inner end of the passage through the stem from becoming clogged up.

With theseand other objects in view, the

invention consists of certain novel features of construction, combination and arrangeme'ntof parts, as will be more fully described and particularly pointed out in the appended claim.

In the accom anying drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical ongitudinal sectional view through a pipe constructed in accordance with the invention; Fig. 2 is a detail perspective view of the combined cap and perforated tobacco supporting disk removed from the pipe; and Fig. 3 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view of the pipe showing a modified form of the invention. Referring more particularly to the drawings 1 denotes a pipe, the bowl 2 of which is provided in its lower end with a threaded opening 3 in which is adapted to be screwed a closing cap 4, which is preferably formed of a non-heat conducting material and in which is preferably arranged an asbestos mat 5 to more effectually prevent the cap from becoming heated when the pipe is in use.

Projecting. upwardly from the center of:

h the cap -and into the bowl of the pipe is a post 6, said post being preferably formed in-- tegral with the cap. On the upper end of the post is disposed a perforated tobacco supportingdisk 7, .said disk being held .a

suitable distance above the cap-by the post 6 I to provide a'space into which the ashes or Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed January 14, 1909. Serial No. 472,800.

lfatented Nov. .16, 1909- 'fine particles of tobacco and the nicotin will fall through the perforated disk 7.

above the opening and prevents the same? from becoming clogged up. If desiredl may place in the space between the cap and the disk a filling of cotton or asbestos wool through which the smoke is drawn; and

which will absorb the nicotin from the smoke.

a While I prefer to construct the cap and f supportingdisk from a metal having poor heat conducting qualities, I may if I desire provide a cap which is formed of wood or of the same material of which the pipe is constructed and to provide said cap with an outer threaded metal band 12, by means of which the cap may be screwed mto the threaded open end of the bowl. The cap 10 will be provided with a post 13 and a disk 14 similar in construction and arrangement to the post and disk shown in Fig. 1 of the drawing. r a A pipe constructedas herein shown anddescribed may be readily opened and thor oughly cleaned out and after removing the cap and cleaning, the air and sun may be allowed to pass through the open bowl thus drying and purifying the same. By providing the cap with an asbestos mat all possibility'of the same becoming hot will be obviated.

the construction and operation 0 the inven tion will be readily understood without requiring a more extended ex lanation.

- and the minor-details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the principle or; sacrificing any of the advantages of this invention as defined in the appended claim.

Havin thus described and ascertained the I 95 I From the foregoing description; taken 1n connection with the 'accompanym drawlngs, v
